"Don't get me wrong, ego-wise, when I see the cover of the magazines and they say that [I'm a mogul] I'm like oh, 'that looks popping and it looks hot, but it aint true.' Oprah's been doing this for 30 years. Mogul? That's like Martha Stewart. That's like going public. Mogul? Not yet."
– 'America's Next Top Model' host and Emmy-winning talk show Tyra Banks talks to 'Ebony' magazine about being called a mogul.
In other news, Banks' daytime talk show will stop airing in first-run syndication with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution and now broadcast exclusively on The CW network when it returns for its fifth season in Sept. 2009.
Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Hawaiian Silky?
Maybe. At any rate, Tyra Banks goes for the free flowing care-be-darned look with an exotic flower as an accent. A burnt sienna mix of reds and browns are the colors she chooses on this day. Frank Micelotta, Getty Images
Flapper

Pretty & Tousled
With barrel ringlettes and hints of cranberry and auburn, Tyra shines as she keeps her make-up light so that the real star (her hair) can shine. Getty Images
Twosome
Somehow this look of two seemingly separate hair styles ("bump-rows" and hair out in the back) works -- kind of a sophisticated shag. Frederick M. Brown, Getty Images
Glamour Puss
Tyra's giving us old Hollywood glamour with soft cascading waves parted on the side. That come hither look is dangerous! Frank Micelotta, Getty Images
Razor Sharp
With blonde streaks peeking out of a wispy, mid-length precision cut, Tyra is channeling the edgy girl she's not known to be. Chris Weeks, Getty Images
Foxy Brown
With a more subdued brown all-around, Tyra is picture perfect with medium sized ringletts and eyelashes that pop. Thos Robinson, Getty Images
Blonde Ambition
Going outside of her usual repetoire of browns and reds, Tyra throws a straight blonde look on with a dark lip to match her brown cap. Lawrence Lucier, Getty Images
Pony Up
Keeping it classic with a twist, Tyra gives a new nod to the ponytail with barrel curls pinned up and a wisp of hair on the side to keep it modern. A smoky eye finishes the chic-ness. Peter Kramer, Getty Images
Bangin'
Tyra always makes fun of her 'eight head' and this simple cut with bangs straight across her brow keeps it covered nicely. Frazer Harrison, Getty Images

I have always been in love with ms Banks but Iknow she wouldn't want to talk to an old soldier like me. 21 years in the US Marines totalof 54 months in combat and I still believe she is beautiful and what ever people want to call her then it's okay.I'm sure she is intelligent enough to realize when something is askew and not right and she can deal with it then. Aslong as it's in good taste then let people say what ever they want because the lord will protect her from all harm. God bless you Tyra.

I would just say, take the comment and go with it. Even the bible say speak those things that be not as if they were and besides, you work hard for the finished product. Looking at the finished product, things look easy and look good, but the better they look, most of the time the harder you worked. So if not a mogul today, perhaps its on the way. Keep up the good work.

I don't understand the popularity of Tyra Banks anyway, at least of her shows. I guess she's smarter than she looks or sounds for she sounds like she's about as smart as a poptart, but I'm not gonna' bash the chick. She's managed to make it work for her, so hopefully it will continue for her.

The way she encourages women to let themselves get fat is pathetic. Stop catering to the fatass housewives of America, Tyra you dummy. Tyra is a dumbass. Oprah might hire her to clean one of her mansions... that's as close as she'll ever come to Oprah.

Written by a typical pig headed male, James. I bet you are the type of guy that oogles over Playboy magazines on a dateless Saturday night. You would cream your pants if a woman with half of Tyra's beauty even looked at you. Tyra knows that every woman is not your pre packaged Barbie doll and wants people to embrace that. The only thing Jame's embraces is his blow up Bonnie doll.

James.. be careful your I.Q is starting to show. Tyra might not be everyones favorite person but she is a beautiful woman regardless. SO James dear....it's apparent you will NEVER get a woman half a smart or even half a beautiful as Tyra. So do us all a favor and shut up.

Pretty lady but she is a NUT Job! As for those that call her "fat, ugly, disgusting" etc why don't you go back to your ironing board (NO Back OR Top)classless toothpicks? Whatever floats your boat Ein-STEEN! I for one wouldn't turn her down. She can put a tiger in my tank any time. LOL

Well James. I actually met Tyra before and I had the chance to go to her show. And shes not fat. Shes full figured,and if you had a schedule like hers i bet you'd gain a little weight too. Shes beautiful, and I'm not just saying that because shes my idol.If people want to call her a mougul, let them. Shes very modest and she takes comments like that in stride not letting it get to her head.
